Find your fit at The Summit! We are a Catholic, independent, coed, college prep school serving students from 18 months to Grade 12. Niche has rated Summit the #1 Catholic High School in Ohio for the past FIVE years (2019-23).

Summit's specialists in literacy, math, science, and social-emotional wellness support highly trained classroom teachers. With small class sizes and a culture of extraordinary care, each child is known, their God-given talents are valued, and meaningful relationships develop naturally.
